Vitus Bikes, a United Kingdom-based direct-to-consumer bicycle brand that is renowned for its well-regarded constellation of two-wheelers that run the gamut from road bikes and electric bikes to gravel and mountain variants, has launched a wonderfully new electric mountain bike that is designed to cater to long-distance travel.
The 'E-Mythique LT VRX' is an electric mountain bike that is built around the E-Mythique enduro system. This implies that the battery is internally placed within the frame, which is crafted out of premium grade aluminum. Available in small, medium, large and extra-large sizes, this particular electric mountain bike comes fully equipped with a Smooth Bafang M510 motor that is capable of churning out up to 250 watts of power as well as 70 pounds-feet of torque.
This electric mountain bike is available for a retail price of $4,599.
